An Alabama news organization on Wednesday responded to a threat of legal action sent by a lawyer representing embattled GOP Senate candidate Roy Moore.
"We stand behind our past reporting on Roy Moore, and vow to continue to doggedly pursue the truth on behalf of the people of Alabama. These threats will not silence us, and they will not slow us," said Alabama Media Group Vice President Michelle Holmes in a statement.
Attorney Trenton Garmon sent a letter to the news outlet on Tuesday, slamming it for its "careless and/or malicious reporting" on Moore and calling for a retraction. The letter warned that it would follow through with a defamation lawsuit if Alabama Media Group didn't comply.
The company, which owns a number of newspapers across the state along with the website AL.com, has reported on Moore's accusers, as well as a number of residents who claimed the Senate candidate was well known in the community for his "predatory" behavior.
